Bio & background

Sean Meehan is an Australian-born director and cinematographer known for performance-driven commercial storytelling rooted in emotional clarity and cinematic craft. After working his way through the camera department on Australian productions including *Ship to Shore*, *Praise*, and *Garage Days* in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Meehan transitioned to directing in 2003. He shoots much of his own work, bringing dual expertise to campaigns for Volkswagen, Samsung, Toyota, Google, Amazon, AT&T, McDonald's, Macy's, AXA, and Posten, among others. His Super Bowl 2023 Volkswagen spot featured the 80s hit "Mr. Roboto," while his trilogy of Christmas films for Norway's Posten (2020–2022) tackled LGBTQ+ representation and climate crisis with allegorical ambition. His short film *Lost Face* (2016) screened at nearly 200 festivals, won over 50 awards, and was Oscar-shortlisted. Meehan's commercial work has been recognized by Cannes Lions, D&AD, LIA, The One Show, and the AICP Show (shortlisted for Performance in 2022 for AXA "Birders"). After an extended US period, he returned to Australia in January 2026, now available locally via Soma Films, with US representation at Arts & Sciences and Canadian representation at The Salmon.
